A common question we receive from Australian vapers is, “How do I charge my IGET?” The answer depends entirely on which IGET device you have. Unlike a universal smartphone, IGET’s extensive product range includes both non-rechargeable and rechargeable models. Using the wrong method can damage the device or pose a safety risk.
This guide will help you identify your IGET device and provide safe, correct charging instructions.
First, Identify Your IGET Device
The most crucial step is determining if your IGET vape is designed to be recharged.
Non-Rechargeable (Disposable) Models:
IGET Bar (Original): The classic, popular model. These are fully disposable and cannot be recharged. They are designed to be used until the battery or Capacity is depleted, then responsibly disposed of.
How to spot it: No charging port of any kind on the device. The bottom is typically flat and sealed.
Rechargeable Models:
IGET Bar Plus / IGET Bar Pro: Features a USB-C charging port on the bottom of the device.
IGET Legend / IGET ONE / IGET E-HOOKAH Series: All have a USB-C port, usually located on the side or bottom. These high-puff-count devices require recharging to complete their lifespan.
How to spot it: Look for a small, covered or uncovered USB-C port.
⚠️ Important Safety Notice First
Never attempt to charge a non-rechargeable IGET Bar. It lacks the necessary circuitry and can overheat, leak, or fail.
Only use the charging cable provided or a standard, high-quality USB-C cable.
Plug into a low-power source like a computer USB port or a quality wall adapter (5V/1A is ideal). Avoid fast chargers.
Do not leave charging unattended for extended periods or overnight.
Charge on a non-flammable surface.
Step-by-Step Guide to Charging a Rechargeable IGET Vape
Once you’ve confirmed your device has a USB-C port, follow these steps:
Locate the Port: Find the USB-C charging port on your device (bottom or side).
Connect the Cable: Insert a standard USB-C cable into the port. You may need to remove a small silicone plug if it’s your first time.
Connect to Power Source: Plug the other end of the cable into a low-power USB port (computer, TV, gaming console, or a standard 5W phone adapter).
Check the Indicator:
Most rechargeable IGET models have an LED indicator near the mouthpiece or port.
While Charging: The LED will typically glow red.
Fully Charged: The LED will change to green or turn off.
Charging Time: A full charge usually takes 60 to 90 minutes. Disconnect the device once the indicator shows a full charge.
Test and Use: Give the device a few puffs to ensure it’s working correctly. The flavour and vapour production should return to normal.
Troubleshooting Common Charging Issues
Device Not Charging (No LED):
Try a different USB-C cable and power source.
Gently clean the charging port with a dry toothpick to remove any lint or Capacity residue.
The internal battery may have reached its full cycle life, especially if the device is very old.
Device Gets Warm While Charging: A slight warmth is normal. If it becomes hot, disconnect immediately and discontinue use.
No Vapour After Charging: Ensure the device is activated (some draw-activated). If it still doesn’t work, the atomiser may have expired or the device may have a fault.
